Accentra YAL-1902/4 694 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Can the Accentra 1900 Series door closer be mounted parallel arm on the push side, or only regular arm?
Both, plus a third option. The 1900 Series closer is offered with a regular arm, a parallel arm, a parallel rigid arm, or a UNI Stop door control, and the shell is also set up for corner bracket installation. Regular arm mounts on the pull side of the door; parallel arm puts the closer on the push side with the arm tucked against the frame face, which is what you want on a corridor door where the closer would otherwise stick out into the opening. The parallel rigid arm is the choice when the door gets abused and you need the arm to resist being forced past its stop. Pick the arm when you order, since it is a separate option from spring size and finish.
2) What spring size do I need for a 1900 Series closer on a 36 inch commercial door?
The Accentra 1900 Series is built on one closer shell with two spring ranges: size 2 to 4 and size 5 to 6. A standard 36 inch interior commercial door sits inside the 2 to 4 range, and it adjusts within that range on the door. The 5 to 6 unit is for wider or heavier leaves and exterior doors fighting wind and stack pressure. Order the size range first, because it is the one choice you cannot adjust your way out of after install.
3) Is the Accentra 1900 door closer available with hold open, and can I get delayed action too?
Hold open and delayed action are both orderable options on the 1900 Series, and they are independent of each other, so a unit can have one, the other, or both. Hold open arms keep the door parked open at the arm's set point, which is what a property manager wants on a receiving door or a leaf being propped anyway. Delayed action slows the first part of the closing swing so someone with a cart, a gurney, or a walker gets through before the door starts to close. Both are chosen at time of order, not added later.
4) What ANSI grade is the Accentra 1900 Series closer, and is it heavy duty enough for a school entrance?
Grade 3 is what the 1900 Series carries, which puts it at the light commercial end. That is a fit for interior offices, tenant suites, and low traffic doors, but a school main entrance or any high cycle exterior opening should be on a Grade 1 heavy duty closer instead. From what ZenSupply stocks, the BEST EHD9000 Series is an extra heavy duty Grade 1 with adjustable spring sizes 1 to 6, and the Sargent 1431 Powerglide is a heavy duty Grade 1. The Falcon SC91A is the closest peer at the same level, also Grade 3 light duty.
5) What is a straight Grade 1 replacement for an Accentra 1900 Series surface closer on a heavier commercial opening?
The Accentra 1900 Series is a traditional surface mounted closer certified to ANSI/BHMA Grade 3, with an aluminum alloy shell and rack and pinion operation. If the opening calls for Grade 1, the Sargent 1431 Powerglide is a Grade 1 heavy duty surface closer, and the BEST HD8000 Series is a Grade 1 heavy duty surface mounted closer. Both step the certification level up from Grade 3 while staying a surface mounted closer on the same door face.
6) Which door closer matches the Accentra 1900 on duty level rather than stepping up to heavy duty?
The Accentra 1900 Series is a Grade 3 traditional surface closer. The Falcon SC91A is the closest peer on that footing: a light duty surface mount cast aluminum closer also certified Grade 3. If light duty at Grade 1 is acceptable instead, the BEST SL6000 Series and the Norton Rixson 160 Series are both light duty Grade 1 surface closers.
7) The Accentra 1900 comes in two spring size groups. What closer covers sizes 1 through 6 in one adjustable unit?
The 1900 Series splits spring power into a 2 to 4 group and a 5 to 6 group, so the size range is chosen at order time. For a single unit that adjusts across the full range, the Arrow DCN325 is a Grade 1 surface closer with adjustable spring size 1 to 6, the BEST EHD9000 Series adjusts sizes 1 to 6, and the Norton Rixson 8501A is a Grade 1 tri-mount surface closer with an adjustable size 1 to 6 spring. For a narrower single unit, the Arrow DCN314 adjusts 1 to 4 and the Dormakaba 7414 covers size 1 to 4.
8) What should I order instead of an Accentra 1900 closer if I need one part number that can mount regular, parallel, or top jamb?
The 1900 Series is ordered by arm style, with regular arm, parallel arm, parallel rigid arm, and UNI Stop door control as separate choices. If a single tri-mount part that installs regular, parallel, or top jamb is preferable, the Dexter DCH1000 Series, DCH4000 Series, DCL2000 Series, and DCM1000 Series are all Grade 1 surface closers described as tri mount for regular, parallel, or top jamb mounting; the Dexter DCH1000 includes a full cover. The Norton Rixson 1600 Series is a Grade 1 tri-mount surface closer with 180 degree swing.
9) Does the Accentra 1900 work on an aluminum storefront door, or is there a closer built for that?
The 1900 Series is a traditional surface mounted closer for commercial door hardware applications. For aluminum storefront specifically, the Norton Rixson 1600 Series aluminum storefront closer is a Grade 1 heavy duty unit with tri-style mounting, which is the closer written for that frame type. The Dorma 8916-JT is a Grade 1 heavy duty closer with jamb track, frame face mounting on the pull side, adjustable size 1 to 6, if the detail calls for frame face mounting.
10) What is an ADA barrier free alternative to an Accentra 1900 closer?
For openings specified barrier free or ADA, the Cal-Royal 500S is a Grade 1 barrier free door closer with adjustable back-check, the Cal-Royal N900PBF is a Grade 1 hydraulic barrier free surface closer, the Calibre CA9901 is a Grade 1 tri-pack arm size 2 to 5 ADA surface mount closer, the Calibre CA4001 is a Grade 1 adjustable spring tension ADA hydraulic closer, and the LCN 1250 Series is a light duty ADA compliant closer with all-weather fluid in sizes 1 to 5.
11) What looks like a substitute for an Accentra 1900 door closer but will not do the job?
Several parts sit near surface closers without being one. The Arrow DCN500DP is a parallel drop plate for the DCN500, a mounting accessory rather than a closer body. The Stanley Security 327 is a heavy wardrobe pivot for 1-3/8 inch or 1-3/4 inch doors up to 150 pounds, and the Stanley 341 is a wardrobe pivot for flush recessed or overlay doors from 1-1/8 inch to 1-3/8 inch; pivots hang and swing a door, they do not control its closing. Stanley 57-0100 is a box of 100 steel machine screws for architectural hinges. None of these replace the 1900 Series closer, which is the hydraulic rack and pinion unit that controls the door.
12) Which closer should I use in place of an Accentra 1900 on a standard 1-3/4 inch commercial door with a regular arm?
For a 1-3/4 inch door on a regular arm, the Corbin Russwin DC3200 is a Grade 1 surface mounted closer with a regular arm rated for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Orca Hardware BHDC1958 with regular arm and parallel bracket is also built for 1-3/4 inch doors with a tri-packed non-hold open arm. The Accentra 1900 covers the same regular arm installation and is also offered for parallel arm and corner bracket mounting.
13) Will the 1900 Series closer match the bronze hardware on my older building?
Finish is where the 1900 earns its place on a period opening. It comes in seven: 600 primed for painting, 689 aluminum painted, 690 dark bronze, 691 light bronze, 693 black, 694 medium bronze, and 696 satin brass, all painted finishes. Three separate bronzes plus black and satin brass is unusual on a surface closer, and it is why this one gets specified on traditional and restoration work. If you are matching a custom paint or a wall color, order 600 primed and finish it on site.
14) Do I have to order a separate closer for a left hand and a right hand door?
Not with the 1900 Series. It uses a single shell design across the range, and the arm is what you select: regular, parallel, parallel rigid, or UNI Stop. Handing is handled by which side you mount the closer on and how the arm is set, so you are stocking one shell and two spring ranges rather than a hand-specific part. For a property manager standardizing a building, that means fewer part numbers to keep straight on reorders.
15) I need a closer with a built in stop so the door does not swing into the wall. What are my options?
The UNI Stop door control arm on the 1900 Series is the one to specify. It builds the stop into the arm itself, so the door is held short of the wall without relying on a floor or wall stop, which matters where there is nothing solid to mount a stop to or where a wall bumper keeps getting torn out. It is one of the four arm choices, alongside regular, parallel, and parallel rigid. The parallel rigid arm is the other tough-duty pick, but it does not give you the stop function.
16) What is a good alternative to the Accentra 1900 if I need a Grade 1 closer that still mounts three ways?
Tri-mount Grade 1 closers cover the same regular, parallel, and top jamb mounting flexibility with a higher grade rating. The Norton Rixson 8501A is a Grade 1 tri-mount with adjustable spring size 1 to 6, the Dexter DCH1000 Series is a Grade 1 tri-mount with a full cover, and the Norton Rixson 1601P is a Grade 1 tri-mount rated for 180 degree swing. Where the 1900 wins is finish selection for traditional decor; where these win is duty rating on a busier opening.
17) I need a delayed action closer. Is the Accentra 1900 the only option, and what else offers it?
Delayed action is a yes or no option on the 1900 Series, so it can be ordered with that feature built in. The Orca Hardware BHDC1958 Series is also offered as a delayed action closer with a regular arm and parallel bracket for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Orca BHDC2011 Series is offered the same way as a delayed action regular arm closer with parallel bracket for 1-3/4 inch doors.
18) What hold open closer works if I am not ordering an Accentra 1900 hold open arm?
Hold open is an orderable option on the 1900 Series, and the series is also offered with rigid heavy-duty and hold open arms. As an alternative, the Orca Hardware BHDC1958 Series is built as a hold open closer with a tri-packed hold open arm and a parallel bracket for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Stanley Security A45-501HL is a long hold open arm standard, top jamb unit.
19) What is the middle-ground closer between an Accentra 1900 and a full heavy duty unit?
For medium duty rather than the 1900 Series Grade 3 traditional closer, the Sargent 1131 is a Grade 1 adjustable surface closer for medium-traffic commercial applications, the Sargent 1331 is a Grade 1 medium duty closer with a universal aluminum body, the Falcon SC81A is a Grade 1 medium duty cast aluminum surface closer, the LCN 1450 is a medium duty closer with cast aluminum construction and spring sizes 1 to 6, and the DORMA 7303 Series is a Grade 1 medium duty surface-mounted closer.
20) Which closers use a slide track arm instead of the Accentra 1900 arm styles?
The 1900 Series is built around regular arm, parallel arm, parallel rigid arm, and UNI Stop door control installations. If the opening calls for a track arm instead, the Corbin Russwin DC5230 is a Grade 1 surface closer with a slide track arm standard for pull side mounting on 1-3/4 inch doors. The Corbin Russwin DC6200 and DC8200 use a double lever regular arm for pull side mounting on 1-3/4 inch doors if a lever arm is preferred.
21) The Accentra 1900 is offered in painted finishes only. What if the job needs the closer to disappear against a period door?
The 1900 Series finishes cover 600 primed for painting, 689 aluminum painted, 690 dark bronze, 691 light bronze, 693 black, 694 medium bronze, and 696 satin brass, all painted, with 600 intended to be field painted to match trim. Peers that stay in painted territory include the DORMA 7303 Series and the Dormakaba 7414, both offered in a painted finish, and the LCN 1460T in powder coat.
22) Are there closers with a cover option if the Accentra 1900 shell is going on a visible opening?
The 1900 Series uses a one-size closer shell design that needs only two spring sizes to cover the full range of door sizes. Where cover treatment is the deciding factor, the Dexter DCH1000 Series is a Grade 1 tri mount surface closer with a full cover, and the Design Hardware 316 Series is a medium to heavy duty closer supplied with a cover. The Arrow DCN314 and DCN325 are supplied less cover.
23) Is a Grade 2 closer an option where an Accentra 1900 would go?
The Accentra 1900 Series carries ANSI/BHMA Grade 3 certification. The Cal-Royal 400 Series is a Grade 2 commercial hydraulic door closer, which sits between Grade 3 and the Grade 1 units in the same surface mounted category. Confirm which grade the door schedule calls out before substituting either direction.
24) For standardizing closers across a whole facility, which alternatives to the Accentra 1900 come as a tri-pack?
The 1900 Series is ordered with the arm style chosen up front, one style per part number. For stocking one carton that fits regular or parallel installations, the Arrow DCN314 and DCN325 are Grade 1 surface closers supplied as regular/parallel arm tri-packs, the Design Hardware 116, 316, and 416 Series ship with a tri-packed non-hold open arm, and the Dormakaba 8616 AF86P FC SNB1 689 is a Grade 1 heavy duty closer with a flat arm non-hold open tri-pack.
25) What parallel arm closer can I order instead of an Accentra 1900 parallel arm unit?
The 1900 Series is offered in parallel arm and parallel rigid arm versions. As alternatives on the same mounting, the Calibre CA8001P is a Grade 1 parallel arm size 1 ADA surface mount closer, and the Calibre CA5501 is a Grade 1 standard arm surface mount closer if the arm can switch to standard. Both are surface mounted closers on the same door face as the 1900.
26) Which alternatives to the Accentra 1900 offer adjustable backcheck?
For a closer where backcheck control is called out, the BEST HD7000 Series is a Grade 1 medium duty surface mounted closer with adjustable spring power and backcheck control, and the Cal-Royal 500S is a Grade 1 barrier free closer with adjustable back-check. The Accentra 1900 provides spring power adjustment and a regulating valve for closing control.
27) Is the Accentra 1900 door closer body aluminum or cast iron?
Aluminum alloy shell, with rack and pinion operation inside and a regulating valve plus spring power adjustment for tuning closing speed and force on the door. Aluminum keeps the unit light on the door face and is standard for surface closers at this duty level. If a job spec calls out cast iron specifically, the LCN 1261 is a cast iron body closer with adjustable spring sizes 1 to 5, and the Sargent 281 Powerglide is cast iron heavy duty.
28) Is the Accentra 1900 closer meant for commercial use or is it a residential closer?
Commercial. The 1900 Series is a commercial door closer, spec'd into office buildings, schools, healthcare facilities, retail, industrial and warehouse space, multi-tenant residential, and government buildings. The traditional styling is what gets it onto openings where a modern rectangular closer body would look wrong, without dropping to residential-grade hardware.
29) Does the 1900 Series closer need a drop plate or bracket for a narrow head frame?
Corner bracket installation is supported on the 1900 Series in addition to standard arm and parallel arm mounting, which is the route when the frame face does not give you enough flat surface for a top jamb or parallel bracket. Confirm your head frame face dimension against the mounting template before you drill, since the bracket is what decides whether the shell clears. Templates ship with the closer.
